Frenzy was an arcade game published by Stern Electronics in 1982. It was a sequel to the hit 1980 arcade game Berzerk. Frenzy followed the basic paradigm set by Berzerk: the player must navigate a maze full of hostile robots. The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible and score points by killing robots and travelling from room to room. The game has no end other than the player losing all of his or her lives. The player has a gun with which to shoot the robots, and simple intelligence of the robots means that they can often be tricked into shooting one another. If the player lingers too long in a room, a bouncing smiley face (known as "Evil Otto") appears, and relentlessly chases the player. Evil Otto will destroy any robots in his way, and can move through walls.

Description

Frenzy is the sequel to Berzerk and gameplay is similar. You are chased around a maze of rooms by various robots and your player must avoid their lasers and shoot them back to destroy them. There's only so much time the player can stay in a room before a "Robot Attacks" occurs and a smiley face of death moves in on the player. In Frenzy there are also reflective mirrors in place of certain walls which reflects shots back and allow you to ricochet your fire. Also unique to Frenzy are four "device rooms" with a special icon in the center of the room that may be destroyed for bonus points and a special effect within that room.

Subject: How do I shoot the robots?
Love the page, but I can't figure out how to fire at the robots. What key should I use for that? Thanks!

Subject: Bullets bounce off walls
Watch out you can shoot yourself! A nice variation of the I'm stuck in a maze, outnumbered by bad guys, and have to fight my way out.
Reviewer: NTACvOS - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - January 21, 2015
Subject: One of my all time favorites, along with Berserk.
Ultimately simple and playable, but hard to get good at! I've got four quarters up on the glass, so come back later! :)
